SIRVA Named To 2013 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators

CHICAGO, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SIRVA Worldwide Inc., a leading global relocation and moving services provider, has been named to this year's InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation's most innovative users of business technology. This was the 11th consecutive year SIRVA was named to the InformationWeek 500.

Ranking in the top 150, SIRVA was recognized for its Lump Sum Xpress portal, which enables employees to easily manage their lump sum benefits online and allows companies to build consistency into their lump sum programs. SIRVA's Lump Sum Xpress portal offers employees the information they need to relocate in one convenient spot. Within the portal, employees can manage their lump sum benefits through an integrated declining-balance credit card, enabling superior expense management and greater transparency into their spending.  Employees can also use the portal to receive special discounts and cash-back rewards to maximize their relocation budgets. The Lump Sum Xpress portal delivers significant benefits to companies as well. Companies can gain clarity into employee lump sum spending, allowing them to refine compensation to reflect true costs.

"The workforce of today has evolved," says Jason Birnbaum, SIRVA's Chief Information Officer. "Our goal is to implement smart technology to match our customers' needs – to simplify and elevate each customer's mobility experience."

"The theme of this year's InformationWeek 500 is digital business. It's a movement, rooted in data analytics, mobile computing, social networking and other customer-focused technologies that are turning companies and industries on their ear," said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston. "Every enterprise is now a digital business — or needs to become one fast. The organizations in our ranking are leading the way."
